You are not a flower of the Abyss! Not in that place, don't bloom there! No, don't bloom there!

"Are you sure?" Hanyuu asked.
"Yes," I answered, out of breath, "I know it is her. Luna is the holder of the power. I can feel it."
"Well," Hanyuu replied, "What are you going to do?"
"I... I don't know..." It began to rain. "I have not been given any reason as to why I should kill her, let alone a way to kill her... This is these ponies' ruler that we are talking about! How would they feel if their benevolent ruler was found dead! All because of my own selfish desires... But, then that means the only other way home would be..."
"To die." Hanyuu finished for me.
"Yes. And in doing so, possibly killing this Twilight Sparkle that may lay dormant in this body. It's not fair!" I began to cry as the rain falls slightly harder. "Why... why must fate be so cruel?!?"
Hanyuu spoke again, "Don't worry. We'll find a way."
As she said that, I saw Pinkie Pie in distance. It cheered me up a little. But... something was strange... Her mane was not the cotton candy form that it usually is... rather it was deflated, like when she explained the murder of that one pony. She was carrying a large sack. This is not a good sign. I began to follow her. Taking many twists and turns, and also making sure that I am not seen, we came to the place where we held the party, two weeks earlier. I assume this is Pinkie's house. She walked inside as I tried to read the sign. Oddly enough, I was able to, and it read, 'Sugarcube Corner'. I walked up to the door and tried to open it. No! It's locked! Maybe I can pick the lock, just like Mion showed me in that one Hinamizawa that everything was all weird. In that one, Keiichi never even came to Hinamizawa!
But now to the task at hand. I'll revisit memories later. Hmm... Just turn it this way... then do that... And... Yes! I got it! I pushed the door open. I don't see anything of importance, but I must keep looking. Is this... a kitchen knife? Just like the expert chefs use back in Hinamizawa? They are rumored to be extremely sharp... let me see here... OUCH! I drew blood that easily? That really is sharp. Why would a bakery even need a knife like this? 
No matter. I may need this however. I picked it up with my hoof, which is strange, because I didn't even know horses could pick up things like this. I attached the knife to my hip. I noticed a door slightly opened with light shining through... Odd. I quickly ran through, down a long corridor, coming to a large steel door. I could hear talking from inside. Even more odd. I pushed open the heavy steel door, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Oh Dashie," It was Pinkie's voice, talking to Rainbow Dash, strapped down to a torture table. "please stop squirming! Oh, your entrails will serve as the most delicious cupcake batter!"
"Why are you doing this, Pinkie?" Rainbow sobbed.
I must stop this! "Pinkie Pie!" I yelled.
Pinkie looked at me with disdain, "Oh. It's you. Why did you even come here? No matter, you will make great cupcakes as well!"
She's charging at me! I leaped out of the way just in time. She hit the door behind me. She's dazed now! It's my turn to attack! I ran up to her and kicked her across this dark room. Then, I drew the kitchen knife. 
She glared at me with a look containing pure malice and hatred. But then... her eyes grew wide and she began to sob. I reattached the knife to my hip as she collapsed in my forelegs. "Rika, is that you? I'm so sorry, Rika! I'm so, so, sorry!" She began to sob even harder.
I tried to console her. "It's all right now. What is the last thing you remember?"
In between the sobs, she tried to remember, "Um, I-I was tal-talking to Luna after you ran aw-way. After she l-left, I had this desire to k-kill D-d-dashie and use her intestines as cupcake mix. Next thing know, we're here and you and-"
She began to cry more. I think I see what's going on. Luna, or rather Nightmare Moon, did something psychological to Pinkie, causing her to want to kill her friend. 
Rainbow Dash spoke from the torture table, "What is going on? And why does Pinkie keep calling you Rika?"
I walk over to her and free her from her bonds. While doing so, I explain my entire story, how I'm not from here, and what I believe about Luna.
"Um," Rainbow started, "Wow. That's... wow. I'm speechless. Normally I would call you crazy, but, given the circumstances... I believe you. Now, let's get out of this creepy place. Hey Pinkie, why is this even here?"
Pinkie was just getting over her sobs, "It's for... actually, I can't remember now. Bomb shelter, maybe?" 
We begin to make our way out of Sugarcube Corner. Oddly enough, Pinkie's mane had not regained it's shape. I assume the mental strain given by Nightmare Moon has taken a toll on her... and she may also be wanting to seek revenge... 
The rain is pouring the hardest I've ever seen it. We begin making our way back to my, or rather, Twilight Sparkle's tree library. I figure, after what happened tonight, the least I could do is let them sleep over. Aside from the rain, there was no sound. Pinkie and Rainbow did not converse as they usually do.
Then, there was a familiar voice, "What art thou doing in this torrential rain?"
